can be felt sunday scribblings #224 source

power felt in return

It twists back from the end

coils round the opening

and pounces on its prey

power sees no end

It slides up from the shadows

covers the light

does not allow it to enter

power blinds them

at a sideways angle

It scatters filament

then it disappears

  1. I don't write poetry, I'm mostly a fiction writer, so I have trouble understanding and analyzing poetry. I'll just say I saw a thunder/tornado like storm. Am I close. I know, I know. Sorry.

  2. BJ Roan I had given this no thought to being a storm but could be! Thanks for commenting!

  3. I saw electrical wires - but maybe that is because my late husband was an electrical engineer.

  5. I loved your vocabulary in this piece to tease us in trying to find a meaning behind the poem. Personally I just enjoyed reading it.

  9. I saw a snake slithering.... perhaps because I encountered one on my weekend adventure.

    Enjoyed the word combinations, Pamela!

    When I wrote it seemed to me more like a snake also!

  11. I love the feel of this - power insinuating itself, once it is there is just kind of seeps into al the corners and then takes over the person who thought they controlled it. Loved it!
